I didn’t deserve this.
“You came into my life,” he growled and pointed to his chest “You got pregnant” he turned his finger to me.
“We got-”
“YOU! It’s all your fault! You turned me into THIS.” he waved at himself.
My eyes widened, how had I turned him into this?
“No, I didn’t-”
I flinched as he flew toward me, his hands wrapping round my throat. I gasped.
“This is your fault” he spat.
He squeezed his hands tighter and pushed me back against the door. I gripped his arms, my nails digging into his clenched muscles.
I could feel myself slipping back into the box that he’d tucked me away in. If that was the only way I could survive then that’s what I’d have to do. All my earlier bravado slipped away.
“Please.” I croaked.
“You need to be taught” he sneered.
I scraped my nails down his arms digging into his flesh. I begged him to let go.
The edges of my vision blurred, I could feel the fight leaving me, my body was cavin
g in.
Then Eli flashed in my mind. His bright green eyes begging me to stay. To fight.
I couldn’t give up.
I couldn’t leave Eli with him.
I lifted my leg and kicked out, the front of my chucks catching his shin.
“Fuck!” he let go and stumbled back rubbing his leg.
I bent forward gasping, I needed to get out of there quick, I spun around fumbling for the door handle.
I could see the apartment door from here. My escape.
I’d got the door halfway open and was about to step out when his hand came down on the back of my head and pushed.
My cheek slammed on the edge of the door as I fell. I cried out at the pain as he pulled me up from the floor by my hair.
Wetness trickled down my cheek, flowing down my chin and onto my neck. My throat burned from him choking me, the pain so intense I couldn’t concentrate on anything else.
“Where do you think you’re going? Huh?” he pulled my hair again then pushed me back into the middle of the kitchen floor.
Landing on my hands and knees I tried to scramble up but I wasn’t quick enough to get away from his boot as he kicked me in the side.
“Please, stop.” I groaned, falling and curling into a ball. He bent down next to me, lifted my head and stared straight through me.
The air stilled. His eyes unmoving. He waited a couple of beats, then pushed me over onto my back.
I saw his foot lift and watched in slow motion as it came closer.
